Sorry, Tampa_Gamer, but you ARE correct. The AI DOES NOT USE ECM AND COMBAT SENSORS!
I just discovered it as I read through your comparison files (good job by the way. I would love to see a comparison of the ship design files, too) and tested it with some races. These components are not used as the design file still states "combat to hit add/dec" instead of "combat to hi offense/defense plus".
I have fixed this in my Last MOD (Version 1.31), you can grab it at the MOD board.

Can anyone confirm whether the AI is designing ships with Combat Sensors and ECM units in ver 1.19? According to the new files (ver 1.19) I reviewed, the AI_Design files do not use the new ability names for these components (i.e. Combat To Hit Offense Plus, etc.) I hope I am not correct. . .
